Gatorbox is Off the Air (formerly Off Air) is a special series produced outside of Gatorbox's standard streaming schedule. It is a free-form series that follows no particular theme or setting and each episode can be viewed as a separate entity. The show is written, taped, and edited entirely offline, hence its name "Off Air". The idea for Off Air was briefly explored in 2015 as a way to offer a behind the scenes look at production of the show, however this idea did not work out as planned due to a sudden relocation of the streaming studio and departure of several key cast members. The series was briefly revisited in 2019 as a review-oriented humor show but remained out of production for a considerable amount of time due to concerns over budgeting resources.
In 2025 the series was given a complete overhaul and renamed to Gatorbox is Off the Air to help differentiate it from other shows and concepts simply named "Off Air". The show has no opening theme or dedicated set and is instead a freeform comedy series focusing on specific topics and often begins with a cold opening that drops viewers straight into the point of the episode right away. Draco has stated that the revised version of Off Air is essentially a sort of "B-side" to his larger comedy series project, Articles of Conflagration, and is a way for him and the show staff to explore non-standard ideas for videos that wouldn't "fit" the theme and setting of Articles.
The series in all three of its iterations has been used as an incentive to get viewers and fans to support the stream either by pledging on Patreon or subscribing on Twitch as episodes of Off Air are commonly offered to supporters much earlier than the general public has access to. New episodes of the show debut live as part of a standard Friday night Gatorbox stream where they take the place of that week's GatorUNbox.
